31 4. Wiring of cables / Common precautions Warning 1. Adjusting, mounting or wiring change should never be done before disconnecting the power supply to the product. Electrical shock, malfunction and damage can result. 2. Do not disassemble the cables. Use only specified cables. 3. Do not connect or disconnect the wires, cables and connectors when the power is turned on. Caution 1. Wiring securely. Do not apply any voltage to the terminals other than those specified in the Operation Manual. 2. Wire the connector securely. 3. Take appropriate measures against noise. Noise in a signal line may cause malfunction. As a countermeasure separate the high voltage and low voltage cables, and shorten the wiring lengths, etc. 4. Do not route input/output wires and cables together with power or high voltage cables. The product can malfunction due to interference of noise and surge voltage from power and high voltage cables to the signal line. Route the wires of the product separately from power or high voltage cables. 5. Take care that actuator movement does not catch cables. 6. Operate with all wires and cables secured. Avoid bending cables at sharp angles where they enter the product. 7. Avoid twisting, folding, rotating or applying an external force to the cable. Risk of electric shock, wire breakage, contact failure and loss of control of the product can happen. 8. Fix the motor cables protruding from the actuator in place before use. The motor and lock cables are not robotic type cables and can be damaged when moved. Therefore fix the cables and the connectors (part A in figure below) when set up. 9. Select Robotic type cables in case of inflecting actuator-cable repeatedly. And do not put cables into a flexible moving tube with a radius smaller than the specified value. (Min. 50mm). Risk of electric shock, wire break, contact failure and loss of control for the product can happen if Standard cables are used in case of inflecting the cables repeatedly 10. Confirm proper wiring of the product. Poor insulation (interference with other circuits, poor insulation between terminals and etc.) can apply excessive voltage or current to the product causing damage. 11. The Speed / pushing force may vary, depending on the cable length, load and mounting conditions etc. If the cable length exceeds 5m, the speed/pushing force will be reduced 10% per 5m as the maximum.( if cable length is 15m: 20% reduction as the maximum. ) [Transportation] Caution 1. Do not carry or swing the product by the motor or the cables

32 5. Electric actuators / Common precautions 5.1 Design and selection Warning 1. Be sure to read the operation manual (this manual and the one for the controller: LEC series). Handling or usage/operation other than that specified in the Operation Manual may lead to breakage and operation failure of the product. Any damage attributed to the use beyond the specifications is not guaranteed. 2. There is a possibility of dangerous sudden action by the product if sliding parts of machinery are twisted due to external forces etc. In such cases, human injury may occur, such as by catching hands or feet in the machinery, or damage to the machinery itself may occur. Design the machinery should be designed to avoid such dangers. 3. A protective cover is recommended to minimize the risk of personal injury. If a driven object and moving parts of the product are in close proximity, personal injury may occur. Design the system to avoid contact with the human body. 4. Securely tighten all stationary parts and connected parts so that they will not become loose. When the product operates with high frequency or is installed where there is a lot of vibration, ensure that all parts remain secure. 5. Consider a possible loss of power source. Take measures to prevent injury and equipment damage even in the case of a power source failure. 6. Consider behavior of emergency stop of whole system. Design the system so that human injury and/or damage to machinery and equipment will not be caused, when it is stopped by a safety device for abnormal conditions such as a power outage or a manual emergency stop of whole system. 7. Consider the action when operation is restarted after an emergency stop or abnormal stop of whole system. Design the system so that human injury or equipment damage will not occur upon restart of operation of whole system. 8. Disassembly and modification is prohibited Do not modify or reconstruct (including additional machining) the product. An injury or failure can result. 9. Do not use the stop signal, "EMG" of the controller and stop switch on the teaching box as the emergency stop of system. The stop signal, "EMG" of controller and the stop switch on the teaching box are for decelerating and stopping the actuator. Design the system with an emergency stop circuit which is applied relevant safety standard separately. 10. When using it for vertical application, it is necessary to build in a safety device. The table may fall due to the weight of work. The safety device should not interfere with normal operation of the machine. Caution 1. Operate within the limits of the maximum usable stoke. The product will be damaged if it is used with the stroke which is over the maximum stroke. Refer to the specifications of the product. 2. When the product repeatedly cycles with partial strokes, operate it at a full stroke at least once a day or every 1000 strokes. Otherwise, lubrication can run out. 3. Do not use the product in applications where excessive external force or impact force is applied to it. The product can be damaged. Each component that includes motor is made with accurate tolerance. So even slightly deformed or miss-alignment of component may lead operation failure of the product. 4. Returning to origin cannot be done during the operation

33 It cannot be done during positioning operation, pushing operation and pushing. 5. Refer to a common auto switch /matter (Best Pneumatics No 2) when an auto switch is built in and used. 6. When conformity to UL is required,the electric actuator and controller should be used with a UL1310 Class2 power supply. 5.2 Mounting Warning 1. Install and operate the product only after reading the Operation Manual carefully and understanding its contents. Keep the manual in a safe place for future reference. 2. Observe the tightening torque for screws. Unless stated otherwise, tighten the screws to the recommended torque for mounting the product. 3. Do not make any alterations to this product. Alterations made to this product may lead to a loss of durability and damage to the product, which can lead to human injury and damage to other equipment and machinery. 4. When using external guide, the guide axis should be parallel to the actuator axis. There will be damage/excessive wear on the lead screw if the external guide is not parallel. 5. When an external guide is used, connect the moving parts of the product and the load in such a way that there is no interference at any point within the stroke. Do not scratch or dent the sliding parts of the table or mounting face etc., by striking or holding them with other objects. The components are manufactured to precise tolerances, so that even a slight deformation may cause faulty operation or seizure. 6. Do not use the product until you verify that the equipment can be operated correctly. After mounting or repair, connect the power supply to the product and perform appropriate functional inspections to check it is mounted correctly. 7. Cantilever When the actuator is operated at high speed while it is fixed at one end and free at the other end, a bending moment may act on the actuator due to vibration generated at the stroke end, which can damage the actuator. In such a case, install a support bracket to suppress the vibration of the actuator body or reduce the speed so that the actuator does not vibrate. 8. When attaching to the work piece, do not apply strong impact or large moment. If an external force over the allowable moment is applied, it may cause looseness in the guide unit, an increase in sliding resistance or other problems. 9. Maintenance space Allow sufficient space for maintenance and inspection. 10. When mounting the actuator or attaching to the work piece, do not apply strong impact or large moment. 5.3 Handling Warning 1. Do not touch the motor while in operation. The surface temperature of the motor can increase to approx. 90 C to 100 C due to operating conditions. Energizing alone may also cause this temperature increase. As it may cause burns, do not touch the motor when in operation. 2. If abnormal heating, smoking or fire, etc. occurs in the product, immediately turn off the power supply. 3. Immediately stop operation if abnormal operation noise or vibration occurs. If abnormal operation noise or vibration occurs, the product may have been mounted incorrectly. Unless operation of the product is stopped for inspection, the product can be seriously damaged. 4. Never touch the rotating part of the motor or the moving part of the actuator while in operation. 5. When installing, adjusting, inspecting or performing maintenance on the product, controller and related equipment, be sure to turn off the power supply to each of them. Then, lock it so that no one other than the person working can turn the power on, or implement measures such as a safety plug. 6. In the case of the actuator that has a servo motor (24VDC), the motor phase detection step" is done by inputting the servo on signal just after the controller power is turned on. The "motor phase detection step" moves the table/rod for the distance of one screw-lead as the maximum

34 (The motor rotates in the reverse direction if the table hits an obstacle such as the end stop damper.) Take the motor phase detection step into consideration for the installation and operation of this actuator. Caution 1. Keep the controller and product combined as delivered for use. The product is set in parameters for shipment. If it is combined with a different product parameter, failure can result. 2. Check the product for the following points before operation. a) Damage to power supply line and signal line. b) Looseness of the connector to each power line and signal line. c) Looseness of the actuator /cylinder and controller /driver mounting d) Abnormal operation e) Emergency stop of the total system 3. When more than one person is performing work, decide on the procedures, signals, measures and resolution for abnormal conditions before beginning the work. Also, designate a person to supervise work other than those performing work. 4. Actual speed of the product will be changed by the workload. Before selecting a product, check the catalog for the instructions regarding selection and specifications. 5. Do not apply a load, impact or resistance in addition to a transferred load during return to origin. In the case of the return to origin by pushing force, additional force will cause displacement of the origin position since it is based on detected motor torque. 6. Do not remove the nameplate. 7. Operation test should be performed by low speed. Start operation by predefined speed after confirming there are no problems. [Earth] Warning 1. Please give the ground to the actuator. 2. The ground should be exclusive use. (Less than 100Ω) 3. The ground cable length should be as short as possible. [Unpackaging] Caution 1. Check the received product is as ordered. If the different product is installed from the one ordered, injury or damage could result. 5.4 Operating environment Warning 1. Avoid use in the following environments. a. Locations where a large amount of dusts and cutting chips are airborne. b. Locations where the ambient temperature is outside the range (refer to specifications). c. Locations where the ambient humidity is outside the range (refer to specifications). d. Locations where corrosive gas, flammable gas, sea water, water and steam are present. e. Locations where strong magnetic or electric fields are generated. f. Locations where direct vibration or impact is applied to the product. g. Areas that are dusty, or are exposed to splashes of water and oil drops. h. Areas exposed to direct sunlight (ultraviolet ray). 2. Do not use in an environment where the product is directly exposed to liquid, such as cutting oils. If cutting oils, coolant or oil mist contaminates the product, failure or increased sliding resistance can result. 3. Install a protective cover when the product is used in an environment directly exposed to foreign matters such as dust, cutting chips and spatter. Play or increased sliding resistance can result. 4. Shade the sunlight in the place where the product is applied with direct sunshine. 5. Shield the product if there is a heat source nearby. When there is a heat source surrounding the product, the radiated heat from the heat source can increase the temperature of the product beyond the operating temperature range. Protect it with a cover, etc. 6. Grease oil can be decreased due to external environment and operating conditions and it deteriorates lubrication performance to shorten the life of the product

35 [Storage] Warning 1. Do not store the product in a place in direct contact with rain or water drops or is exposed to harmful gas or liquid. 2. Store in an area that is shaded from direct sunlight and has a temperature and humidity within the specified range (-10 C to 60 C and 90%RH or less No condensation or freezing). 3. Do not apply vibration and impact to the product during storage. 5.5 Maintenance Warning 1. Do not disassemble or repair the product. Fire or electric shock can result. 2. Before modifying or checking the wiring, the voltage should be checked with a tester 5 minutes after the power supply is turned off. Electrical shock can result. Caution 1. Maintenance should be performed according to the procedure indicated in the Operating Manual. Incorrect handling can cause an injury, damage or malfunction of equipment and machinery. 2. Removal of product When equipment is serviced, first confirm that measures are in place to prevent dropping of work pieces and run-away of equipment, etc, and then cut the power supply to the system. When machinery is restarted, check that operation is normal with actuators in the proper positions. [Lubrication] Caution 1. The product has been lubricated for life at manufacturer, and does not require lubrication in service. Contact SMC if lubrication will be applied. 5.6 Precautions for actuator with lock Warning 1. Do not use the lock as a safety lock or a control that requires a locking force. The lock used for the product with a lock is designed to prevent dropping of work piece. 2. For vertical mounting, use the product with a lock. If the product is not equipped with a lock, the product will move and drop the work piece when the power is removed. 3. "Measures against drops means preventing a work piece from dropping due to its weight when the product operation is stopped and the power supply is turned off. 4. Do not apply an impact load or strong vibration while the lock is activated. If an external impact load or strong vibration is applied to the product, the lock will lose it s holding force and damage to the sliding part of the lock or reduced lifetime can result. The same situation will happen when the lock slips due to a force higher than its holding force, as this will accelerate the wear to the lock. 5. Do not apply liquid or oil and grease to the lock or its surrounding. When liquid or oil and grease is applied to the sliding part of the lock, its holding force will be reduced significantly. 6. Take measures against drops and check that safety is assured before mounting, adjustment and inspection of the product. If the lock is released with the product mounted vertically, a work piece can drop due to its weight. 7. When the actuator is operated manually (when SVRE output signal is off), supply 24DCV to the [BK RLS] terminal of the power supply connector. If the product is operated without releasing the lock, wearing of the lock sliding surface will be accelerated, causing reduction in the holding force and the life of the locking mechanism

36 8. Do not supply 24VDC power supply constantly to the [BK RLS(Lock release)] terminal. Stop supplying 24VDC power supply to the [BK RLS(Lock release) terminal during normal operation. If power is supplied to the [BK RLS] terminal continuously, the lock will be released, and workpieces may be dropped at stop (EMG). /Refer to the operation manual of LEC (controller) for details of wiring. 6. Electric actuators / Slider type Common precautions 6.1 Design and selection Warning 1. Do not apply a load in excess of the actuator specification. A product should be selected based on the maximum work load and allowable moment. If the product is used outside of the operating specification, eccentric load applied to the guide will become excessive and have adverse effects such as creating play in the guide, reduced accuracy and reduced product life. 2. Do not exceed the speed limit of the actuator specification. Select a suitable actuator by the relationship of allowable work load and speed. Noise or reduction of accuracy may occur if the actuator is operated in excess of its specification and could lead to reduced accuracy and reduced product file. 3. Do not use the product in applications where excessive external force or impact force is applied to it. This can lead to premature failure of the product. 4. When the product repeatedly cycles with partial strokes (see the table below), operate it at a full stroke at least once every 10 strokes. Otherwise, lubrication can run out. Model Partial stroke LEF 16 40mm or less LEF 25 65mm or less LEF 32 70mm or less LEFS40 105mm or less 5. Actuator sizing is necessary with the total workload including the external force if external force is added on the actuator table. When mounting cable-duct to actuator, the resistance of actuator table may increase. It causes an overload alarm, so pay attention to the resistance. 6.2 Handling Caution 1. INP output signal 1) Positioning operation When the product comes within the set range by step data [In positon], output signal will be turned on. Set to [0.50] for LEFS and [1] for LEFB, or higher. 2. Do not change the positioning force from initial setting. If the positioning force is changed, it may cause a decrease in performance. 3. Do not operate by fixing the table and moving the actuator body. An excessive load will be applied to the table, which could lead to damage to the actuator and reduced accuracy and reduced product life. 4. Belt drive actuator cannot be used for vertically mounted applications. 5. Check the specification for the minimum speed of each actuator. 6. In the case of the belt driven actuator, vibration may occur during operation at speeds within the actuator specification, this could be caused by the operating conditions. Change the speed setting to a speed that does not cause vibration

37 6.3 Mounting Caution 1. Keep the flatness of mounting surace to within 0.1mm or less. Insufficient flatness of the work piece or the surface onto which the actuator body is to be mounted can cause play in the guide and increased sliding resistance. 2. When mounting the workpiece or other device to the actuator tighten the fixing screws with adequate torque within the specified torque range. Tightening the screws with a higher torque than the maximum may cause malfunction, whilst tightening with a lower torque can cause the displacement of the mounting position or in extreme conditions detaching of the work piece. Work piece mounting l Model Bolt size Maximum tightening torque [Nm] l (Maximum thread depth [mm]) LEF 16 M4x LEF 25 M5x LEF 32 M6x LEFS40 M8x Use screws with adequate length, but with length less than the maximum thread depth. The use of screws that are to long can touch the body and cause malfunction. 3. When mounting the actuator, use screws with adequate length and tighten them to the adequate torque. And use all mounting holes to maintain the catalogue performance. Tightening the screws with a higher torque than recommended may cause malfunction, whilst the tightening with lower torque can cause the displacement of mounting position or in extreme conditions the actuator could become detached from its mounting position. Actuator mounting l LEF 16 M LEF 25 M LEF 32 M LEFS40 M When mounting the actuator, leave a gap of 40mm or more to allow for bending of the actuator cable. 6.4 Precaution on maintenance Warning 1. Turn off the power supply before maintenance and replacement of the product. 2. Put on protective goggles when applying grease. [Maintenance frequency] Perform maintenance according to the table below. Contact SMC if any abnormality is found.
